My DH self-regulated. I asked him if he wanted a gaming station and he said that it would end up being too big of a distraction for him (like it is for some of his friends) and he doesn't want to add something else in his life to take away from his time with me and LO. He already loves TV and sports. I was really really relieved to hear him come to his own conclusions.

We have a Wii and a ps3. The Wii is mine and I haven't played since the baby came. My husband only plays ps3 when a new game comes out and he plays online with his brother and cousin and some friends. That only lasts for a couple weeks, then he loses interest again.

It depends on what you're playing I suppose, but there is a great deal of thought and imagination that go into many games. I was under the understanding that using your brain is considered educational. Clearly I'm wrong.

Dh used to play wow. He wasn't at the time we got together but started again after his basic training for the navy. When he came home after his medical discharge I saw how bad it really was.

Once he got a job, he stopped playing as much. Plus I told him I was coming over just to watch him play a video game the whole time. Then we moved in together spring break my freshman year of college. Originally it was just going to be him and a roommate,who also played. I was going to move in the summer when I had a job. But since neither one of them could cook, they asked me to go ahead and move in and they'd take care of bills as long as I did cooking and grocery shopping and helped with cleaning.

Dh would get his food and go sit and his computer and play. His idea of spending time together was me sitting on the bed while he played in the same room. It was fine if I had homework to do but the rest of the time it pissed me off. I finally told him if he still wanted to marry me, and this had to stop. He was too wrapped up in wow to even notice our neighbor always trying to hit on me since he was never around.

He quite wow and finally realized how much of the real world he was missing out on. Not to mention how much mountain Dew he drank sitting in front of a computer.

He still plays on xbox some but it's nothing like before. I even play occasionally. I don't see ab problem as long as it's in moderation. But when people do nothing but play the entire time they are home and not sleeping, it's just ridiculous.

We would definitely had not gotten married had dh continued to play wow.
